Women in Business Series: Robin G. Newman (DEC. 2013)

I
love to support women who have that entrepreneurial spirit. Once a month
for 12 months (Jan-Dec 2013), I will be presenting a “Shout Out” on one woman who runs
her own business and who has inspired me in some way.

Robin Gorman Newman – A Midlife Mom

Founder and Blogger of MotherhoodLater.com

Below is her bio. I love reading her blog and newsletter about older women becoming moms for the first or second time….and sometimes more!! We have a lot in common – us older moms do…and it’s nice to know how other midlife moms handle parenting. I love the support Robin gives to others.

Robin
Gorman Newman became a midlife mom at age 42, and it changed her life
in ways she couldn’t have imagined. When her son was less than a year
old and in a mommy ‘n me program, she noted she felt different than
younger moms. She had more life experience, and yearned to connect with
peers where age was an asset not an issue. Looking around for mom groups
to meet her needs, she found nothing, and hence, Motherhood Later…Than Sooner
(MLTS) was born. As seen in US News and World Report and Time
magazine, the mission of MLTS is to connect, empower, inform and support
those who became mothers at age 35+, whether for the first time or
again. There are in-person chapters worldwide that host events (no fee
to join), online communities, a free monthly newsletter Baby Bloomer,
and a host of midlife parenting bloggers, experts and authors who
contribute to the site, including Robin herself. Robin is featured in the books POWER MOMS, MOM, INCORPORATED, SOME NERVE and THE 52 WEEKS.

A work at home mom, Robin is also an aspiring playwright and Associate Producer of Motherhood Out Loud that had a successful Off Broadway run at Primary Stages in NYC and is touring worldwide. As a Love Coach and author, How to Meet a Mensch (decent, responsible person) in NY and How to Marry a Mensch,
she has made appearances at Off-Broadway shows including Dinner with
Friends and I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change. She’s been seen on
CNN and The Today Show and has spoken at Canyon Ranch and Mohonk
Mountain House. She is a member of The American Society of Journalists
and Authors and has a background in public relations and a Masters in
Marketing
